Sea Change,, (undated)

Lubell 2/9: 53

Graphite pencil drawing that is less a naturalistic portrayal of an underwater landscape than a conjoined representation of the various species, forms, and life in one. Large shellfish, coral, and plants are placed adjacent to each other. Extensive and elaborate shading is used on all of the figures, from the pattern of dots on one clam (?) shell to the asynchronous leaf patterns on the plant in the background. Incomplete draft sketch on verso. Signed W. Lubell. Note on bottom right:” Box 14 x 18.”
